Holy Scripture

Proverbs 21:8

A church father on this verse
“Wherefore we must cast out all wickedness from our souls, and never more contrive any deceit; for, saith one, "To the perverse God sendeth crooked paths"; and, "The holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding." For nothing maketh men so foolish as wickedness; sin…”
